Good Morning Brilliant and Excellent People,
I look forward to sharing with you Brilliant and
Excellent tips for attaining your goals and fulfilling your Purpose.
Creativity is the generation of ideas that are both
original and reliable and imagination is a creative process. This means that
the minutest creative processes employ imagination.
What is imagination? It is
the ability to create an image, experience or event in the
mind without employing our physical senses.
An incredible story is told of a young girl who had
speech impediments. Her greatest prayer was to be able to deliver a perfect
speech before her friends, family and class mates in school one day. Over the
course of three years, as the doctors battled with one surgery after another to
correct the impediment, she spent a considerable amount of time imagining that
she not only was able to speak but that she also delivered the best speech in
the history of the school.
She imagined the rounds of applause, the standing
ovation, and the commendations from her teachers. She also imagined the doctor
saying to her parents, ‘her fast recovery is very amazing and unexpected.’ When
the surgery was over, within a week, she gave the best speech ever heard in the
school. She went on to become a national debater and the best public speaker
ever.
The key to turning imaginations to reality is to
first believe it strongly, then act like it’s true in the present. The body will
often move in the direction the mind follows, so if you believe it strongly and
think on it from time to time, it becomes your reality. This doesn’t mean that
by just sitting in your house and imagining a million dollars, it actually
appears at your doorstep. No! This means that, believing it will move you
to take necessary actions in making that state your reality.
Exercise:
Think about something or a situation in your life
that you can experiment with, a habit you want to change or a lifestyle you
want to inculcate. Whatever it is, take a note and write it down. Afterwards,
take one hour a day, make it a time you feel relaxed, preferably in the early
hours of the day. Sit back, close your eyes and imagine the ideal you, the
ideal situation, or the ideal lifestyle. Whatever it is you wrote down, now is
the time to really imagine how you want it to be.
Don't begin to worry about how it's going to
happen, and don't cloud your mind with doubt that it will happen. Instead focus
on getting your mind and your body to agree. As it is said, whatever you can
believe, you can become.
Once you have set in motion the power of
imagination, creative things actually begin to occur.
IMAGINATION AND MEMORY
The connection
Memories are the building blocks of imagination. To
imagine yourself, for example, married with children and a stable career, the
brain needs to first have a stored representation of children, of the union
between man and woman, of having a job and so forth. Imagination is
made possible by memories because the brain has a foundation from which it
builds on to create new ideas and events. Memory is born out of experience,
imagination builds on the experience to create something new.
Thinking about events and experiences in the
present will have no effect whatsoever on your past, but it can have an effect
on your future. Thinking about things in the past can have great benefits
because it allows you to learn and apply lessons learnt to future experiences.
That being said, imagination is the future.
The zenith
People prefer remembering to imagining. Memory
deals with familiar things while
We should use our imagination more than we use our
memory. We should never stop at familiar things alone, imagination requires
launching out into the unknown, and rightly so, because we are able to
experience situations we have not experienced in the present. According to Amos
Bronson Alcott, Memory marks the horizon of our consciousness, imagination its
zenith.
IMAGINATION AND CREATIVITY
"The epitome of using visualization to create
and invent was Nikola Tesla. At an early age Tesla trained his powers of
visualization. In his autobiography “My Inventions”, he describes,
“Every night (and sometimes during the day), when
alone, I would start out on my journeys - see new places, cities and countries
- live there, meet people and make friendships and acquaintances and, however
unbelievable, it is a fact that they were just as dear to me as those in actual
life and not a bit less intense in their manifestations. “This I did constantly
until I was about seventeen when my thoughts turned seriously to invention.
Then I observed to my delight that I could visualize with the greatest
facility. I needed no models, drawings or experiments. I could picture them all
as real in my mind.”
Tesla was a prolific and unparalleled genius,
giving us AC electricity, the electric car as well as many other devices, some
which have not seen the light of day because they would revolutionize man’s
approach to energy." The Power of Imagination - Enchanted Mind
